0.6.0-beta Release Notes

Bosun

The main goal of Bosun 0.6.0 was to smooth out the alert creation and editing workflow. Previously, users would have to copy the configuration from Bosun’s UI, get it to the server, and then restart the process. Now users can edit the config directly from Bosun’s UI, and the changes will be loaded without restarting the bosun process. Since the rules can now be edited via Bosun’s UI, authorization via LDAP and SSL support has been added as well.

Upgrading

Since the configuration file has been split, you will need to move some of what used be in the config into system configuration.

On the first execution, a database schema migration will take place that can take several minutes. During this time bosun will not be available. It is recommended to back up Bosun’s database before the upgrade.

Tooling outside of the Bosun process doesn’t have auth support (except for the Grafana Plugin). The following will have auth support before final: scollector, (cli tools: annotate, silence), tsdbrelay, BosunReporter.NET, and Opserver.

Support for multiple Elastic backends in a single instance may be added. If this happens the syntax for the system configuration (toml file) of elastic might change.
